v Massuet who gives references to most of the fragments, could not find out from what source Combefis (Auct. Novissimum, i. 300) who collected from Catenae, had got this. It is extant in the Leipzig Catena, i. 813, under the name of Origen: and De la Rue, Origen’s Editor has given it as his in his works, t. ii. 128, among fragments collected by the same Combefis, from Paris Mss., i.e., Catenae. Probably Combefis found S. Irenæus’ name affixed by mistake in a single Ms. The whole passage is, Know that every man is either empty or full: for if he have not the Holy Ghost, have no knowledge of his Creator, receive not Jesus Christ the Life, know not the Father which is in Heaven: if he live not according to reason, according to the Heavenly Law, be not sober-minded, act not uprightly:—such an one is void: but if he have received God Who says, I will dwell in them and walk in them and will be their God , this man is not void but full. ↩
